HeHEHeh I added a charcter in this chapter that might make a few readers smile! it sure did for me! as to who this person is...
read and find out!
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…."
"…uhh hahah umm" both pairs of eyes of navy blue and tinted lilac turned towards dark indigo as Eiji felt like he was being watched by a thousand Tezuka's and coach Ryuzaki's. "Look I'm sorry both of you guys I sort of made plans with Takahisa-chan and forgot about them when I was inviting Saeki-chan….I'm really sorry!" bowing Eiji couldn't take it! The hard awkward silence between the two was so unbearable, the red head would gladly take all the misunderstandings and awkwardness away if he could; not including the fact that it was his fault in the first place.
"I see now why you didn't want to hang out this Saturday Kikumaru" Saeki said as he remembered how the red head some how called him on his cell phone and told him if he could change the date for their day of hanging out, only to find out that the time for Rokkaku chu's trip back to Chiba changed as well and tomorrow they were going back.
"I'm sorry Saeki…Kajimoto…"
"Don't be Eiji-kun" Kajimoto said as he smiled at the crestfallen Seigaku player as Saeki smiled as well
"That's right Kikumaru, all three of us can hangout together, you don't mind do you Kajimoto?"
"No not at all" the captain responded polity as Eiji looked up
"Really nya?" even his nya had no energy in it, causing Saeki to raise his left arm to pat the red head's head and Kajimoto squeeze his left shoulder
"Really, we'll have thrice the amount of fun!" Saeki grinned as Kajimoto nodded
"It's a good chance to make friends through the different schools of Seigaku, Rokkaku and Jyousei"
"Yeah! Okay then let's get going! Saeki-chan! Takahisa-chan!" taking the captain's hand in his left hand and the white haired boys hand in his right Eiji pulled the two boys out of the park and towards the city malls, shops and restaurants. He was sure to make them have the best day they ever had! After all he was the one who caused this mess to begin with.
"So where are you taking us Kikumaru?" Saeki asked as the trio walked down the sidewalks as couples, children, old folk and teens pasted them. Saeki stood on the far left in dark green khaki shorts and a dark orange short sleeve shirt. Tennis shoes on his feet and a yellow watch on his left arm.
"Hmm it's three so you guys want to go get something to eat?" looking at the many restaurants surrounding them, as Eiji stood in the middle of the two taller boys dressed in deep red Capri's tightly tied to his calves, a black sleeveless shirt under a light blue sleeveless hoodie. His feet bear of any tennis shoes and instead black sandals.
"That's fine with me" Kajimoto answered as he stood on the far right, dressed in white long pants, a mint green short sleeve shirt and running shoes. His usual light purple earrings off and replaced by his favorite earrings of a silver cross on each ear.
"So what to eat is the question nyaaaa" closing his eyes, putting his hands under his chin and protruding his lips in an odd shaped pout, Eiji thought when the sound of Saeki and Kajimoto laughing caught his ears "Wha-what's so funny?!" the tip of his ears held a light tint as the two boys continued to laugh at the red head
"Hahah sorry Kikumaru! Hahaha"
"Y-your face was hilarious! Hahahaha" holding their sides in laughter Eiji pouted, he loved it when he could laugh at people, especially his friends but hated it when they laughed at him. Until a sudden smile wrapped itself onto the red head's face and instantly he grabbed both Saeki and Kajimoto's sides tickling them in the ribs, stopping their laughing at him and pleading him to stop
"Wah! Hahaha s-stop Kikumaru! S-stop it!! P-please!"
"Ahhh hahaha E-Eiji-kun s-s-stop it! I-I hate being tickled! S-stop hahah it! Hahah"
"Hahah how do you like it now!" Eiji beamed as his nimble fingers evaded their grabbing hands and tickled them all the more. In the ribs, stomach, chest, neck, everywhere he thought a person would be ticklish until the two fought back and aimed their hands to his ribs.
"Whoa! Hahah can't catch me! I'm Kikumaru Eiji-sama great acrobatic tennis player of Seigaku!" back flipping out of the boys reaches he ran as they looked at each other in flushed faces before dashing off after the red head.
"Damn it where did he go?" the Rokkaku player asked as the two boy soon lost sight of their very nimble friend as they stood in a department store filled to the brim with clothes for their parents
"Ah there!" Kajimoto pointed to a brush of red fluff as the two third years ran after the after image of their new friend when they almost bumped into a tall tanned teen in torn white jeans, gray sandals, a sleeveless dark purple shirt with the collar up, a ring tied to a piece of string around his neck and a red and white hat over his frizzy brown hair.
"Excuse us but have you seen a boy with red hair go past here?" Kajimoto asked polity as Saeki kept his sharp eyes wandering
"Yeah he ran that way" pointing to the mall outside on the other side of the department store Kajimoto thanked the tall teen as the two ran off. When they were far enough and out of ear shot the teen smiled
"They're gone, you can come out Eiji" watching from the corner of his piercing light grey eyes a bob of red came out from behind a curtain of clothes
"Ah thanks Yujiroh! You saved me nya!"
"Let me guess you tickled them and now they're chasing you?"
"Whoa! How did you know!" Eiji looked up at his good friend's light brown eyes, it was a good thing he knew the guy worked here since his parents were like that; and forced him to work against his age of fifteen.
"Remember! We've been friends for how long? Since you visited to Okinawa seven years ago, and since I moved here not five years ago, I know you Eiji" lightly flicking the red head's forehead earning a pout from the right cheeked bandaged boy,
"Yes yes Kai-sama! But anyway thanks again! I'll see you then nya!" shaking hands like they would in their childhood Eiji ran off as Kai watched his friend sneak off towards the mall, and the tanned teen let out a chuckle
"Same as always Eiji, that idiot."
"Damn it! Why didn't that guy give us better directions?" Kajimoto growled as they stood in the middle of the large mall, surrounded by hundreds of people coming and going
"We'll never find him!" Saeki said annoyed at the fact that once again his eyes let him down and the fact that the small guy was faster than he had thought.
"Find who?" a sudden voice popped up
"Ahh! K-Kikumaru!"
"E-Eiji-kun! W-what the? How in the?" looking right at the red head in front of them who was beaming proudly they instantly knew, that guy from the department store was the reason.
"That was cheating Kikumaru" Saeki light hit the smaller boy's head as Kajimoto did the same
"Ow that hurt!" looking at the angry faces of his friends Eiji sighed in defeat "fine how about I treat you guys to lunch and we call it even?"
Both navy blue and tinted lilac looked at each other and the turned towards dark indigo "deal" as the two taller males turned around towards a restaurant that caught both their eyes; Eiji got a deep feeling in the pit of his wallet as he saw the restaurant his friends choose.
He was right. As the red head stared in awe at the place his eyes wide in shock
"Y-you guys can't be serious! T-this place is….is WAY too expensive!"
"You said anywhere Kikumaru" Saeki teased
"I didn't say anywhere! I said I would treat you guys but not here!"
"Then you're dept to us get deeper Eiji-kun" turning towards the Seigaku regular Kajimoto smirked "can you afford that?" sighing Eiji knew it was now or never to get rid of that dept, if you can call it that! It was just a little tickling and then a chase! No need to hold it over his head like this!
"Fine….you two are more heartless then I thought" pouting Eiji headed into the sushi place missing Saeki and Kajimoto's smirks as they followed him in.
After some time the three came out as Eiji held his wallet close to him, tears in his eyes
"Wahh! That was a whole two months of allowance!!"
"Come now Kikumaru don't tell me you didn't enjoy the food" Saeki patted the boy slowly on the head ruffling his soft red hair.
"I did but still…."
"Don't make those faces Eiji-kun, how about we pay for dinner then?" Kajimoto looked at the white haired boy as he nodded, both the taller teens didn't want to see a sad Eiji but as the words left the captains lips Eiji jumped up with a bright smile on his face,
"You guys really mean that! No lying nya!" and upon seeing the two nod Eiji hugged the two hanging from their neck seeing as they were much taller than him. "Yay! Saeki-chan and Takahisa-chan are the best!" still smiling Eiji missed the flush on both the Jyousei and Rokkaku regulars' faces as they hugged him back.
"Ok! Then let's get this party started!" releasing them the red head headed towards the outer parts of the mall, telling the two all the places he loves to go to, pointing them out and taking them all across the large shopping mall. First it was the game store, then it was the music shop, even some clothes departments and so on the three teenagers completely forgot the time and paid no attention to the growing tangerine and crimson sky through the ceiling windows high above them, until the mall was half empty.
"Ah crap! It's getting really late! We got to get going!" Eiji looked around as the other two nodded but not before Eiji stopped in his tracks and pointed an accusing finger at his friends as they looked oddly at him.
"What is it Eiji-kun?"
"I see what you guys are trying to do!" his only respond were odd stares as he crossed his arms and smirked as if he had just found a mistake even Inui wouldn't have caught, "you guys are trying to leave without paying for my dinner! But I won't let you!"
"…Eiji-kun…"
"…Kikumaru…" dark indigo looked oddly at the two this time as they sighed "you really are an odd one Kikumaru" Saeki mused as Kajimoto chuckled in total agreement
"Well sorry for being myself!" sticking his tongue out like a stubborn child, the two older boys came over to him and put their arms around his shoulders, one on each side; smiling.
"We never said we didn't like you the way you are Eiji-kun, now tell us where you want to go and lead the way" Kajimoto smiled his hold on Eiji's left shoulder tighten slightly, but not enough to be missed by Saeki's navy orbs.
"Hmmm h-how about a Chinese restaurant tonight!" beaming and looking between the two taller players Saki smiled and patted the red head's right cheek with his left hand making Eiji flush lightly,
"Lead the way Kikumaru-kun" with a glint in his navy eyes Saeki turned his head towards the road as Eiji too turned his head towards the road and headed towards the restaurant, with both Jyousei and Rokkaku players still holding onto his shoulder.
The walk there was a supposedly short one however to Eiji it couldn't have taken longer, on the way there the red head was sure he could feel a strong and overwhelming atmosphere crawl along them as they walking in silence. He was sure that behind his head the two were glaring at each other occasionally, the reason why he had no idea but the red head was too preoccupied to think of the reason as he was trying his best to keep his hands to himself.
For as the three of them were walking so close together occasionally Eiji's hand would meet with a thigh that wasn't his and he was sure that his face would automatically flush deep red, Eiji tried to put his hands in his pockets but then his elbows would touch their ribs and then the whole afternoon incident would reoccur all over again, so Eiji thought he could fold his arms across his chest but then his shoulders would bump into their chests, and he would blush all over again. Sighing the red head had only one choice and that was to keep his hands as close to himself as possible but even then that didn't help when his fingers would brush against Kajimoto's thighs or his outer hand would caresses Saeki's shorts.
Eiji held his head down and tried to hold his blush from appearing on his face, as Saeki and Kajimoto remained silent until the restaurant appeared before them.
"Eiji-kun is this the place?" the captains voice cutting softly through the night as Eiji turned towards his head to look and nod his head
"Yeah, let's go nya!" slipping their hands off the younger boy's shoulders, unconsciously the red head shivered at the sudden loss of warmth and he slightly pouted until he put on a smile and turned towards the two, "get ready Saeki-chan, Takahisa-chan! I'm REALLY hungry tonight!" and in a flash he ran into the restaurant not seeing the grimaces on both the taller players faces, as they felt the same way Eiji had before. And they knew….they were going to go broke tonight.
